The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.
These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.
We are in a climate emergency.

To everyone's surprise, it turns out that attaching a money-sucking machine to a hospital system makes it worse.

The bipartisan investigation of hospital systems purchased by Apollo Global Management and Leonard Green & Partners reinforced the findings of past academic research.

This thread makes a point that is not getting nearly enough air time. Keep going to points 8 and 9.
1. The debate continues over why Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris. So far, it seems to be centered on two related arguments. One is that the vice president didn’t do enough to appeal to white working-class voters and their concerns about the economy. So they voted for Trump.

One thing I learned researching my book is that China's climate legislation requires there to be climate-change courses in secondary and undergraduate education.
It also institutes and funds departments of climate change and "ecological civilization" studies in all Chinese universities.

I want to pause here and acknowledge the colossal and accelerating contribution that Chinese researchers are making in the fields of climate and sustainability. This is chronically overlooked in the Anglosphere. Easily half of the most significant papers I've read recently were by Chinese authors.
"We show that 31–67% and 51–91% of the planetary boundary breaching responsibility could be attributed to the global top 10% and top 20% of consumers, respectively."
Any economic agenda, even the "abundance" agenda, must deal with this scientific finding, no?
